Question
Answer
Atom   The smallest particle of an element that has the characteristics of that element.  
🗑
Proton   Positively charged particle found in the nucleus of atoms. They have a mass of 1 amu.  
🗑
Neutron   Neutrally charged particle found in the nucleus of atoms. They have a mass of 1 amu.  
🗑
Electron   Negatively charged particle found in the space outside of the nucleus of an atom. They have a mass of 1/1,836 of a proton.  
🗑
Element   A pure substance made up of only one kind of atom.  
🗑
Electron Configuration   Describes the probable location of an electron associated with an atom.  
🗑
Ion   A charged particle. In atoms, it is due to an imbalance in protons and electrons in the atom.  
🗑
Isotopes   Atoms containing different numbers of neutrons.  
🗑
Atomic number   Describes the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Atomic mass number   Described the number of protons and neutrons combined in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Atomic mass   The amount of matter in a single atom.  
🗑
Pure Substance   Material made up of only one type of atom or compound.  
🗑
Compound   A pure substance composed of two or more elements whose composition is constant  
🗑
Colloid   A mixture made up of medium sized solute particles which disperse indefinitely within the solute. Colloids scatter light, but they are not filterable.  
🗑
Solution   A mixture made up of smallest solute particles. Solutions are non-filterable, do not scatter light, and do not settle out over time.  
🗑
Suspension   A mixture made up of the largest solute particles. Particles in a suspension scatter light, settle out over time, and are filterable.  
🗑
Organic   Refers to molecules that are the product of biological processes. They contain the element carbon (C).  
🗑
Passive Transport   Movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration without the use of energy.  
🗑
Active transport   Movement of particles which requires the use of energy. Proteins or other specialized surface structures are required for active transport.  
🗑
Equilibrium   When a dynamic system reaches the point where forward and reverse reactions are occurring at the same rate. In membrane transport it is a condition when solutes are kept in balance.  
🗑
Solute   Substance in a solution that is dissolved in a solvent.  
🗑
Solvent   Substance in a solution that does the dissolving.  
🗑
Osmosis   The simple diffusion of water  
🗑
Simple Diffusion   Passive transport of solutes across a membrane without the use of surface proteins  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   Passive transport of solutes across a membrane using channel proteins  
🗑
Endocytosis   The process of taking substances into a cell by surrounding it with the cell membrane.  
🗑
Exocytosis   The process in which vesicles in the cytoplasm fuse with the plasma membrane to release contents out of cell.  
🗑
Metabolism   The total of all chemical reactions in an organism.  
🗑
Respiration   The process of releasing energy from glucose with the use of oxygen. Releases 36 ATP per glucose molecule.  
🗑
Fermentation   The process of releasing energy from glucose with the use of oxygen. Releases 2 ATP per glucose.  
🗑
Enzyme   A substance that regulates the rate of a chemical reaction.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
